He was dragged from his car & sprayed with pepper spray & pinned down by ICE agents. He told them he's a citizen & an army veteran, but was still taken to a detention centre.
He wasn't allowed to shower or change clothes despite being covered in pepper spray. After 3 days he was released with no explanation.
